I agree that those things can help. The trouble with depression is having absolutely no energy to exercise. I need help in getting out of this hole enough to lift my mood and energy level just enough so I can start doing these lifestyle changes.

I would like to find a therapist adept at having the skills to pull in different modalities and make adjustments if the patient isn't responding. Mine wasn't so I'm trying to find someone new who has more experience and isn't one size fits all.

Gotta love Pittsburgh. A depressed person really depressed hoping to get help by asking for a recommendation for a therapist trained in effectively treating depression and they get downvoted.
There is such a lack of humanity and compassion on this subreddit that's very troubling as a depressed person. It completely reinforces the depressed persons feelings of loneliness. It's literally the exact proof that says "see, you're never going to get support or compassion. There's just no point in even trying."
Thank you Pittsburgh for proving that the voice of Depressions is actually right.

Can you recommend a therapist experienced in DBT or IFS?

It sounds like you’re saying that no therapists can help treat depression in a typical out patient setting.

I’m looking for improvement with my depression. I’ve tried 15-20 meds over the past 20 years and am currently trying low dose ketamine which isn’t helping.
I need a therapist who can actually help patients who have depression who don’t respond to easy, quick fixes.

Yes, it’s really bad! I moved here from New Jersey and I would commute from Shadyside to Bethel Park, and the traffic light situation drove me insane. I could not fathom that they were as long as they were compared to the length of red lights in New Jersey and you’re right the timing was always off. I now work remotely and don’t miss it at all!!

Why do people complain about their age knowing that there’s many older people on here? If you want to say you’re old, talk about it with your peers .

TMS scared me. There was a documentary on PBS about a guy who had brain damage from it and it freaked me out. I decided to go the Ketamine route but I'm on a low dose so I'm looking at other ketamine options.
